Tony Khan sends message to Triple H & Shawn Michaels ahead of Tuesday Night War

On social media, Tony Khan delivered a message to Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Shawn Michaels ahead of Tuesday night’s AEW Dynamite-WWE NXT war.

Dynamite Title Tuesday and NXT are airing head-to-head tonight. Dynamite is airing on a different night than usual this week due to the MLB playoffs. With that, NXT has announced a loaded-up card with appearances by John Cena, Paul Heyman, Cody Rhodes, and Asuka. WWE has also teased that The Undertaker will be appearing.

In response to a report from Haus of Wrestling, Khan posted a message calling Levesque and Michaels bald assholes. The image that Khan used was from an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Haus of Wrestling spoke with a “fired-up WWE source close to NXT” who claimed that tonight’s head-to-head battle will be “a very clear example of how and why WWE is WWE, and why AEW has a long way to go.”

Haus of Wrestling spoke with a fired-up WWE source close to NXT this morning who said tonight will be ‘a very clear example of how and why WWE is WWE, and why AEW has a long way to go.’ They discussed how they felt AEW had been lulled into a false sense of reality that they were somehow an industry leader by continuing to beat WWE’s number three brand in viewership.

It also sounds as if there are lingering tensions from the infamous Wednesday Night War, with the idea that Tony Khan could have run Dynamite on Thursdays and the two would never have gone head-to-head. With Levesque now squarely back in control of WWE creative and Michaels taking pride in being the best, it was said Khan ‘poked the wrong ones at the wrong time.’ The fact this is all happening on Khan’s 41st birthday was also pointed out to me, with it sounding like WWE NXT is fine spoiling his party.

In response to someone on X (formerly known as Twitter), Khan also referenced the sexual misconduct allegations that have been made against Vince McMahon.

The first 30 minutes of Dynamite and NXT are both airing commercial-free tonight.
